We are grateful to Kate Cullity founding director of internationally recognised landscape architecture firm TCL for this resounding endorsement of Plantology:

“As there is always more to learn about plants, Plantology has become an essential resource for our landscape architecture studio. It’s invaluable to delve into such a comprehensive book that details the many aspects of selecting plants in the Australian context.

I particularly like the sections on complementary, associate, and substitution plants, which are invaluable information not often found in other books. The generous use of varied photos of each plant and the extensive plant thesaurus that lists plants into varied categories are also great assets.

The authors are to be congratulated on a remarkable achievement.”

And congratulations must go to TCL on the inclusion of the firm’s project the Australia Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne in the list “25 GARDENS YOU MUST SEE” published by this week.

We always knew that Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne is a world class garden but all the same it’s terrific to see this recognition. If you have not been, it is an absolute must visit- and it’s particularly superb in the cooler months when many native plants are in bloom.

Knowing the right plants to use to achieve the look you’re after in your garden can be a challenge. And then working out the species that can be planted adjacent and within the overall planting mix can be even more complicated. That is where Plantology is a great resource and unlike any other book on plants and planting design.

Let the professionals show you how.
